You can set both gecko *and* ie8. That way, you will be able to use IE8 as well as the hosted mode browser for testing. Also, you don't have to figure out which js file corresponds to IE8. GWT automatically does browser sniffing and includes the right js file.
If you plan to migrate to GWT2.x, you can take advantage of dev mode (earlier known as oophm). You'll have to install a plugin for IE8, which will allow you to debug your application from IE8 (instead of hosted mode that you are currently using). --Sri On 30 April 2010 01:24, BGL <[email protected]> wrote: > thanks for the reply. > > ie8 is the only browser we support. if I remove the user.agent > property from the module.gwt.xml and compile the application, it will > get all the permutations defined in the UserAgent.gwt.xml.
